CDSE 2 2014 paper had lots of questions related to current affair and economics. From the feedback that we got from candidates, General ability paper of CDSE 2 2014 was harder when compared to the CDSE 1 2014 paper, so in a sense Cut off can go as low as 15% which means that you can pass even if you have scored 15 marks in one of the paper, hence it is very important that you attempt only those questions in general ability paper or other papers which you are confident in as negative marks can really decrease your score. Best way to pass CDS exam is to attempt only those questions which you are confident of.
